1-Naphthol has recently been shown to be selectively toxic to short-term organ cultures of human colorectal tumor tissue. The mechanism underlying 1-naphthol’s selective toxicity is as yet unknown, but may be due to the formation of naphthoquinone metabolites, which are known to be highly toxic to tumor cells. By using highperformance liquid chromatography with reductive electrochemical detecti...

Thermodynamic analysis of simultaneous and sequential adsorption of crystal violet (CV) and 2-naphthol adsorption on montmorillonite has been conducted, and the changes of microstructure of the clay after adsorption were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The basal spacing and structural order of CV and 2-naphthol adsorbed montmorillonites varied with different CV loadings. In principl...

Extraction of 2-(2-pyridylazo)-1-naphthol-4-sulfonate anion with solvated hydroxonium ion was carried out using 14 kinds of alcohols and 1-octanol/octane mixed solvents as a solvent at 25 degrees C. Alcohols are 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 2-heptanol, 3-heptanol, 4-heptanol, 1-octanol, 2-octanol, 3-octanol, 1-nonanol, 2-nonanol, 3-nonanol, 5-nonanol and 1-decanol. Among them, 1-octanol w...

Many bacteria convert bicyclic compounds, such as indole and naphthalene, to oxidized compounds, including hydroxyindoles and naphthols. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous bacterium that inhabits diverse environments, shows pathogenicity against animals, plants, and other microorganisms, and increasing evidence has shown that several bicyclic compounds alter the virulence-related phenotypes o...

Infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic analysis of eight structural isomers of C20 carbon nanostructures, i.e. ring, tadpole, bow-tie, dumb-bell, spiro, propellane, bowl and cage, were performed at different levels of theory including semi-empirical (AM1 and PM3), Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31++G, 6-31++G**) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31++G, 6-31++G**). A broad range of IR spectra...

We study the solvent-induced frequency shifts of the OH-stretching mode of 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol in nonpolar/weakly polar solvents, subject to electronic excitation, with ultrafast UV/mid-infrared pump-probe spectroscopy and theoretical modeling based on Pullin's perturbative treatment of vibrational solvatochromic effects. The model is parametrized at the density functional theory (DFT) le...

The oxidative metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene and the conjugative metabolism of 1-naphthol by explant cultures of normal human colon and colonic tumor tissue, obtained at surgery, have been studied. After 24 hr in culture, the explants were exposed to either [1-14C]-1-naphthol (20 to 100 microM) or [3H]-benzo(a) pyrene (1.5 microM) for a further 1.5 to 24 hr. Both normal-appearing tissue and tumor...

Abstract A homochiral metal–organic framework (MOF) comprising [Co(L)(bpe)2(H2O)2]·H2O was prepared using (1R,2R)-(−)-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (H2L) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)-ethylene as organic ligands. The MOF explored chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation of racemates. Nine racemates including naphthol, alcohol, diol, amine, ketone, e...
